Chairman Lee Young-kwan won the grand prize at the 12th Unification Culture Award, co-hosted by the Center for Cultural Unifications Studies and the Maeil Business Newspaper, on June 10.

Lee was chosen as the winner in recognition of his contributions to supporting unification education and creating a foundation for unification, and "As a business man, we will continue to work hard for the country's economic growth, as well as support it with a continued interest in unification." the chairman said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the Center for Cultural Unifications Studies was established in 1998 with the aim of making unification land softly through cultural approaches to North-South relations.
